I don't really think that this is a big deal. A lot of couples who have had just girls might want to have a boy or vice versa, but might not want to have 10 kids in the course of trying. If you've got the money to gender select, it's your own choice if you want to do that.

I can't believe people think this is okay. Leave that shit up to nature people. This is the fastest route to an even more sexist world. Plus can you imagine a world where suddenly there's 80% of one sex and not the other? Might as well just bomb us now.

It's happening in China already. As boys are preferred and they're only allowed one child each, all the young men now coming into adulthood have no young women to date, marry and make more babies with. It wasn't very well thought out 20 years ago, but now it's just stupid because we're seeing the consequences! Finlay's right, leave it to nature.

I'm going with Posh as well, my reasoning being that she's admitted she has PCOS, a condition that leaves most women unable to get pregnant without some degree of help from a Reproductive Endocrinologist (aka fertility doctor).

Let's say she's already having to go through an Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) or IVF to even get pregnant, a quick spin of the sperm for $3000 to get that girl she always wanted wouldn't be too hard to imagine. The only surprise for me is that she didn't do it sooner.

it's not like a whole lot of people are doing this, for pete sake. IF someone does the most reliable method, it's essentially IVF and i'm sure, very expensive.

gender selection has its place—-for people who don't want a genetic defect passed on. if you had a child with a lethal or debilitating genetic defect, this could prevent you from having another one. i see nothing wrong with that.

i always think about that and how stupid they are to abort the girls and want families to only have boys. you're right it wasn't planned out very well…i think the rest of the world could tell that it was a stupid thing to do but nope not China they couldn't see that years from now there would be no girls for the boys to marry and have kids with.

@Cee Kay – and it's not like in China they are gender selecting basis sperms and embryo – they abandon or, even worse, kill the female newborn.. So maybe doing something in the lab is a tad more humane?

beside [and now I am joking] it's probably best if China slows down their growth rate! so Hurray for all those Chinese bachelors!

@Jennifer Hansen – well, maybe the world can tell how stupid it is.. however people who are aware of how Chinese culture and society works, can easily understand [even though not condone] why this happens.

China allows families to register only one child. This means they can have more children, if they want, but their birth cannot be registered, i.e. no health care, schools etc will be provided.

Families in the country side are allowed two children because they need help working the land.

Now society comes into play. In China, when a woman gets married, she join your husband's family in all aspects and you work and support his family. She is expected to take care of her in laws until their death, with much lesser support to her real parents.

So, in a country where there is no real pension and you need to look ahead and ensure someone will take care of you when you are old and rickety, can you really be so quick to judge why so many families take these terrible decisions?I really do not condone it, but it would be nice if we all could try and understand what lies behind such terrible choices

in my hometown they won't tell you the sex of the baby because so many South East Asians (so they say) will abort a girl. I really don't think the new generation are like this anymore and refusing ALL women that option is bullshit.

There's a place in Mexico called Microsort that I've been looking into. It has a 97% of getting you a girl and with three boys already I like those odds. The only problem is there's only a 5% chance of getting pregnant.

Posh! Back when she was pregnant it was rumored that she would have this option in the US because it's not legal in the UK for most pregnancies. I didn't think it was a secret either. I used to read the DM (I got bored with it) but I couldn't believe the amount of fuss over the Beckhams.
